# Run benchmark suite.
./phoronix-test-suite benchmark raspberrypi

Updated to run on Debian 12 'Bookworm', with PHP 8.2 and the latest version of PTS as of today.

I also added build-linux-kernel, and right now the only non-interactive portion of the script is the pause after test installation, when the following prompt is displayed:

    Would you like to save these test results (Y/n): 

It looks like I could bypass that by setting up some defaults, e.g. /etc/phoronix-test-suite.xml with:

<BatchMode>
<SaveResults>FALSE</SaveResults>
<OpenBrowser>FALSE</OpenBrowser>
<UploadResults>FALSE</UploadResults>
<PromptForTestIdentifier>FALSE</PromptForTestIdentifier>
<PromptForTestDescription>FALSE</PromptForTestDescription>
<PromptSaveName>FALSE</PromptSaveName>
<RunAllTestCombinations>TRUE</RunAllTestCombinations>
<Configured>TRUE</Configured>
</BatchMode>

(But that would necessitate batch mode... I want to make it so I can bypass that question and not save results by default if using the suite...)

I added pts/build-linux-kernel with just defconfig but that doesn't seem to be working out... it runs both that and all deps.

  <Execute>
    <Test>pts/build-linux-kernel</Test>
    <Arguments>defconfig</Arguments>
  </Execute>

I took out the build-linux-kernel test because it doesn't seem to accept the argument, it just runs all options which means it takes forever.

You can run it separately:

./phoronix-test-suite benchmark pts/build-linux-kernel
